AS-SAHAR 21 years live in MCPA KL

Yes! AS_SAHAR is here!.. the legendary metallers from Singapore...

for celebrating 21 years of "evilness".. and I'm glad to be invited by One Barchiel of As-Sahar himself.. well last i met him is around 96/97 during the show " Tribute to Venom and Celtic Frost", RockWorld, Penang..

it flashing back memories, when u gather with yr ol' frens, chatting and watching the progress of our lives.. One is now having kids, buying house at JB, enuff said we metalheads normally after several years, lots of us is success in life.. Who said metalheads is useless? most of us work as engineer, doctor, lawyers etc.. it just our musical taste is different and more energy, violent, aggresive than some other "soft and so-called lovely" music.. thats why metal is perserved for years.. and never be bored, not a trendy shit like emo and such thing...

Rock the World 8...

me and my fellows REVENGE was fully prepared for this big events and I'm being there as guitar/bass tech, need to make sure we can deliver the sounds and make it work within minutes!..

we played before koffin kanser..
reaching the stage we got 5 minutes ( max ) to put in jack, tune up the amplifier ( I choose MARSHALL JCM 2000) setup the tone etc.. check the monitor, the cable not entangle and clear, the efx power supply is working, efx is working and for the leads guit, it's managed by Diod, for MESA BOOGIE dual rectifier+ MARSHALL.. everything works nice and done within 3 minutes!

helping wak abit since drum is the most fussy to setup.. then here we go.. the show is on! we got 4 songs to strike them ( even we have encore if we want to ).. then most audience is shocking and amazed.. everybody is working perfectly..

after the show we need to cutoff and disassemble everything within 30seconds! it's done..

as a professional, it's just perfect, no hiccups...






Feel very2 satisfy, what i've learned myself, thru stuying videos from DESTRUCTION ( Wacken.. ) etc is applied here

Munetaka Higuchi ( LOUDNESS ) died.. Chris Witchhunter ( SODOM ) too...

A very sad news. It feel so unbelieveable and unacceptable. LOUDNESS drummer and co-founder died on 30th Nov due to liver cancer. What I've heard, they already plan to touring Asia so we have chances to see them live here!








RIP my buddy, idols, and icons of the 80's rock/metal from the EAST that shook the world!
